How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newport Beach?

What do you need to rent a car in Newport Beach?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Newport Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Newport Beach, we suggest reading the policies of the various holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Newport Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
